I don't have error with schematic (nets are unconnected) and PCB (no net short-circuit or clearance violation) - Rudolf Schaffer on 02:31:43 AM.Grant research for start up real estate investing business in the Houston, Tx metroplex area. ' - Abd ul-Rahman Lomax on 08:13:51 PM Another description of the same thing: -1- I defined a schematic symbol named TIE with 2 (unconnected) pins but graphically showing clearly the desired connection.2- I defined a PCB library foot-print TIE with 2 tracks separated by a 0.00003mm gap -3- I defined a 'Component Class' for TIE -4- I defined a 'Clearance Constraint' of 0.00003mm for Class TIE I just ask to my PCB manufacturer if a 0.00003mm gap will be under the resolution of his process, and it's 100% the case. Because the hole guides the drill, one is less likely to slip and damage something else on the board.

It is very easy and fast to drill out the plating in a hole to open a connection which depends on that plating. There are also some tricks that can be done with plated-through holes. I have not discovered a down side to this procedure. The same concept can be used for such fauna as RF inductors that are only copper pattern on the board, anything that must be treated as a component for net list purposes, but which actually shorts, contrary to the net list. When floating toolbars are moved they have problems being redrawn.

Do not recommend resizing window while documents are open within. When OK is clicked: 'Access violation at address 0044D8B2 in module 'Client99SE.exe' Resizing the main window while PCB document is open results in erratic refreshing of screen which seems to go on for quite some time before you can regain control of the application. This results in an access violation to kernel32.dll and sometimes with 'Access violation at address 0044D8B2 in module 'Client99SE.exe' Creating a new project of Database format results in error message 'Root has been deleted'. Trying to add a ddb library results in error message: 'File is not recognized' Trying to load ddb project results in Protel trying to convert the file to another format. This means that the.ddb libraries that come with protel wont load. What works Loading and saving FileSystem based Design Projects What does not Loading and saving Database files (including Design projects and schematic/PCB libraries).
